The album's track listing was teased on July 31, 2023, leading fans to search for clues, and the following day, Rodrigo revealed the titles of the album's twelve tracks. On September 7, 2023, she released a trailer for Guts on YouTube, wherein the titles of the album's four bonus tracks were revealed.

Prior to the official announcement of the tour, it was teased via social media by both Rodrigo and the venues that she was set to perform on a new series of concerts. Rodrigo announced the first set of dates from the Guts World Tour on September 13, 2023, on her official social media platforms, with shows in various different cities across the United States, Canada, and Europe. It is Rodrigo's second concert tour and first arena tour, following her debuting Sour Tour, which she embarked on throughout 2022 in support of her debut studio album, Sour (2021). On September 15, Rodrigo announced 18 additional dates across North America and Europe due to "overwhelming demand". Four days later, second shows were added in Lisbon and Antwerp due to "incredible demand", as well as a venue upgrade for the Oslo show.
Before its commencement, Rodrigo performed Guts in an exclusive concert at Los Angeles Theatre at Ace Hotel on October 9, 2023, from which all proceeds from ticket sales went to her Fund 4 Good nonprofit organization. The concert was streamed a day later on Rodrigo's official YouTube channel, including stories behind the composition of the album. Moreover, Crumbl launched a special Guts World Tour themed cookie that would be available in local stores across the United States.
Nine new shows were added to the tour on May 8, 2024, with five corresponding to several Asian countries, while the remaining four were distributed between the Australian cities of Melbourne and Sydney, each one with two concerts scheduled and with New Zealand singer Benee as opening act. On May 15, two additional shows were announced in both Sydney and Melbourne, while in the following days, second dates were added in Seoul, Bangkok and Singapore after the first shows being sold out from pre-sale.
